There wasn’t powerful further 007 could go as far as sci-fi wizardry and improbable characters after the cartoonish MOONRAKER that had seen James Bond propelled into station.

What was called for was a `back to basics’ come that emphasized realism, exotic locations, less gadgetry, down to earth villains and a return to the ruthlessness that Roger Moore had exhibited in movies such as THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and THE Peruse WHO LOVED ME. What better scheme for the filmakers to return Bond to his roots than to tap into fresh Fleming source material.
Taking characters and situations from not only the Fleming unique FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, but also the keel-hauling sequence from LIVE AND LET DIE writers Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson wove together a complex and enticing cool war discover drama that included some of the staple setpieces underwater and on the slopes that had served the character so well in the past.
As the behind John Brosnan eminent in his review of the movie this production is essentially one long whisk, but in the one solitary tip of the hat to the extraordinary plots of the previous two movies, here the stakes could not be higher. Those stakes are the fate of all the British nuclear missiles in the polaris rapid. Forget the kidnapping of a few nuclear warheads in previous movies, here the balance of nuclear brinksmanship is at risk and ultimately the fate of the world.
This movie sports several of my current characters from the entire EON canon. Topol plays a bright, amiable Greek smuggler named Columbo and the favorable natured trust and friendship between him and Roger Moore’s James Bond is clearly evident in every scene they piece together. Famous British television actor Julian Glover plays Greek mercenary and chief villain Kristatos and I savor the understated mannerisms and menace that literally oozes from every line. The movie also has one of the series most fine women with the captivating Carole Bouquet and this particular Bond fan had a gargantuan crush on Lynn Holly Johnson who portrayed the chipper Bibi Dahl. Add these elements together and dwelling it against the backdrop of the Italian Alps and the Adriatic and you have one of the best entries in the series.

THE DVD
This DVD was one of the first wave of the newly refurbished Bond DVDs (most had previously been released in the snapper cases) . Arriving in stores in Oct. 1999 I speedily snatched them up and devoured them.
Whereas the later two sets all had DVDs with two documentaries on them this one has unprejudiced the one on the Making of the movie. For Bond fans this is a accurate treat because we score to recognize modern on camera interviews with the likes of Rick Sylvestor, Topol and Lynn Holly Johnson. Narrated by Patrick MacNee it’s both breezy and challenging.
With only the one documentary and the standard selectioon of trailers, music and radio spots, we do have two audio commentaries (rather than the one that appeared in the later sets) . Unfortunately these are the spliced together kind which means that often what the interviewees are talking about is not relevant to what is playing out on camouflage. Whereas this means we procure a lot of information it does tend to come by a bit dry and I would have preferred a scene specific track with participants sitting together in a studio discussing the movie as it plays.
Still…this is a enormous movie and the packaging isn’t too shabby. For the time (unhurried 1999) these DVDs were viewed as on-top as far as special features go because at that time most movies being released were bare-bones editions.
Highly recommended.
UPDATE- It should be celebrated that there is a rerelease of this movie coming up on DVD which will feature a newly recorded scene specific audio commentary by Bond actor Roger Moore. So, it may well be worth holding off on a take until these Ultimate Editions are released towards the ruin of 2006.
